JAMES A. HEFNER
A native of Brevard, North Carolina, Dr. James Arthur Hefner served as professor of Economics and the third chair of the Department of Economics and Business at Morehouse College from 1976 to 1984. He was the first to hold the Charles E. Merrill Chair, endowed by Merrill Lynch.
During his tenure, Dr. Hefner strengthened the division’s academic standing and recruited distinguished faculty whose impact endures including Drs. Willis B. Sheftall, James E. Williams and John W. Handy. Following his time at Morehouse, Dr. Hefner served as president of Jackson State and Tennessee State Universities, and as provost at Tuskegee Institute and Clark Atlanta University.
Dr. Hefner earned a B.A. degree from North Carolina A&T University, a M.A. degree from Atlanta University, and a Ph.D. degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder, all in economics.
Dr. James Arthur Hefner passed away on August 27, 2015, leaving behind a profound legacy of academic excellence, leadership, and service.
THE JAMES A. HEFNER AWARD
In honor of Dr. James A. Hefner and all he espoused, the James A. Hefner Award is presented annually to a senior in the Division of Business and Economics. Selected by faculty vote, the recipient exemplifies academic excellence, leadership, active engagement in the department, and service to the College. As Dr. Hefner put it, the honoree reflects “urbanity in its purest form.”
